A man with 29 arson attacks on his record set fire to rubbish at Market Gates shopping centre in Great Yarmouth.
Mark Martindale, 36, of Swaffham Road, Wendling, admitted arson on August 26 last year, when he set fire to rubbish behind a store at the shopping centre.
Norwich Crown Court heard that Martindale had 29 previous matters for arson all of a similar nature with many being started after Martindale had been drinking alcohol.
Martindale was due for sentence at Norwich Crown Court on Friday, but Judge Andrew Shaw adjourned the case so he could look at a range of measures to be put in place to ensure a close eye is kept on Martindale at all times to prevent further offending.

A former care home manger stole more than £24,000 from a resident over five years to help pay for his gambling, a court has heard.
Robert Harbord, 48, had worked as a manager at Heath Farm House care home in Little Plumstead when he took between £18,000 and £24,000 from a resident at the home who had no mental capacity whatsoever .
Norwich Crown Court heard the money had been taken by Harbord between November 2014 and November 2019 but was only discovered after Harbord was dismissed for gross misconduct in relation to another matter.
Duncan O Donnell, prosecuting, said following his departure a review was conducted by Swanton Care and Community Ltd, which ran the care home, during which the fraud was discovered.
